Welcome from California too but on the Eastern side of the Sierras

That's good info to have... Do they just have a block off plate covering the hole?

Also... Head on over to the give us a wave section and introduce yourself to the group

Take it to the shop, could be an issue with the FAD or with the E-locker. The FAD collar could be out of its groove on the shift fork or the Spicer E Locker can operate incorrectly if the sheet metal plate on the locker gets bent or isn't oriented correctly. I would limit driving until the...

Welcome from California

lol…. With a set of 5 point harnesses. They’re for bolting the seatbelt to the roll cage ETA: with the coopers these and a few Irwin rod clamps were mandatory, with the Maxxis I just needed to move these little cleats a few times as I worked around the bead. I did end up using these on tires...

Had some company a few months ago, after the ladies got some drinks down they begged me to go get them a pack of cigs…. 😲 some $12 later they each smoked 1 or 2 and the pack just got left in the garage. At least I think it’s out of their system for a few years now

Four more wheels to polish and 120 bolts to go! So far, out of the Cooper STT Pro, Maxxis A/T’s and these BFG KM3’s these have been the easiest to align (start?) the outer bead. These are 13.5’s too, I don’t think I will even need the hold down bolts for the others.

Busted down tires today… I don’t think I’ve ever had beads harder to break than these KMC’s but I’d rather fight getting them apart than have a bead pop on the trail. Soooo many bolts I also washed everything and freshened up the beadlock rings. Sanded them with 60 grit on Dewalt 20v...

Looks like you’re getting a rash of shit but I kinda enjoyed the read. Also appreciate the efforts of RTF to keep the trail open and the RTF loop too. I always make sure to stop and BS Glen parked in the shade at the top of the slabs on my way through. Thought I missed him last time but he was...

A little of both honestly, if questionable I stick with the manual. When it comes to oil viscosity I don’t think I’d hesitate to go with a slightly heavier weight. One of the driving factors for manufacturers going to 0-20 oil is to gain a minute amount of fuel efficiency to help their EPA...

Thread revival… Anyone try the “Wheely Clean” stuff that’s been getting pimped on social media? Is it worth a shit or should I just buy another bottle of Meguiar’s Non-Acid wheel cleaner. I’ve got new tires on order and like to detail clean the wheels while everything is apart.
